Need for Speed: The Run demo speeding out in two weeks

The last installment of the Need for Speed franchise was arguably the best and most successful, even though it faced competition around its release from Gran Turismo 5 it still fared well. Now today we can tell you that the Need for Speed: The Run demo will be speeding out in two weeks to a console near you.

It could be one of the best games available this coming holiday season especially if you want a break from your first person shooter games. Now if you want to find out if the game is good enough before you part with your hard earned cash, SlashGear are reporting the demo is almost upon us.

It has been announced by EA the demo will be released on October 18th, and will feature the game’s Autolog feature. This allows players to compete against each other while playing the demo. The Run demo will see players racing through the Independence Pass in Colorado, and also the Desert Hills of California.

It will feature two of the many cars that will be found in the full game, so you will get to choose between the tasty Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni or the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S. If the Porsche is your car of choice it will only be available if you recommend a friend to download the demo.

The demo will only be available to download between October 18th and November 1st in the US, while in Europe it’s available from the 19th until November 1st. Check out a trailer for the demo below. Will you be downloading the demo once it is available?
